An Act allowing businesses to sign up for the "Do Not Call" list

This bill allows businesses in Massachusetts to register on the state's "Do Not Call" list, which currently restricts unsolicited telemarketing calls. By amending existing consumer protection laws, the legislation redefines who qualifies as a "consumer" to include corporations and other entities that use telephone services. The key mechanism involves removing the word "residential" from specific sections of the law and replacing instances of "person" with "consumer" to ensure businesses are covered. Consequently, businesses that opt into the registry would be legally protected from receiving unwanted telemarketing calls, just as individual residents are.
